    Next year we may have to apply to the UK, for the renewal of our EHIC's.

    Yes, but I believe that is only for E form holders, not CMUers like myself and maybe Sweet 17.  Could be wrong....  Same applies though, personally I never wait until I know I'm travelling, I just make sure I always have an in date CEAM/EHIC.

    You are right, I should have made a distinction between E form holders, and those in CPAM.

    You shouldn't have been able to buy a house with timber problems. Ask the notary for the guarantees of treatment.

    Woodworm comes free with most older properties in France and there is no requirement for them to be treated before a sale.

    [quote user="Jez Caudle"]If you logout then login without the box ticked it will not log you in again automatically next time even when connected to the Livebox. Well it works for me anyway.

    But I can't try it because I'm in the UK now :-(

    I'll have to send someone round to do it but they'll charge me €35 per hour for this. I did't have time to ring the help line today - something for tomorrows to-do list.

    Thanks every one for your help. I only joined the forum to try and get some help but I'll hang around and see if I can help others.[/quote]

    You can do it from the UK, go to the Orange "messagerie" Page and click the persons head with the X on it, if you hover over it, says something like "ne plus etre identifié comme xxxxxxxx"

    [quote user="AnOther"]OK peeps, here's the story.

    Had 'er indoors go to Orange.fr, she was logged automatically and saw NO 'persons head and shoulders with a X across it' as Quillan describes to log out, nor any other obvious option to do so.

    I, at exactly the same time, was logged in from my present location and did have it to log out with so it would appear that two different pages, if not sites or servers, are in play here.

    You need to go to the Messagerie page, then click on the X, the next time you go to the Orange.fr page or  Messagerie you will not be recognised.

    Leaving an empty house

    I am planning a long holiday and not knowing the ‘rules’ can anyone give advice or information please?

     

    I am having difficulty finding out if La Poste offer a service to hold all mail at the post office. Has anyone used this service if in fact it does exist?

    (I have no address to divert mail to and no one that would empty my mail box).

     

     

    Is it advisable to notify my local gendarmerie of my absence?

     

    Does the house insurance company need to be notified?

     

    Thank you.

    It depends on how long you are planning to be away, but the services you require are available from La Poste for holding your mail. some info on the links below. Do alert the gendarmerie of your absence.

    [quote user="AnOther"]Talking of that it was only about 3 or 4 years ago that I took my daughters car for MOT but the rolling road brake testing equipment was out of order so the old inertia tester was dusted off and employed in the passenger footwell on a test drive. I can't really believe for a minute that it was officially sanctioned but it was that or they closed for the day and I got my MOT so did I care !

    [/quote]

    Totally legal, MOT stations have to keep the old inertia system for brake tests (Tapley meter) or similar, just in case of a failure of the rolling road. They also have to have the meter calibrated, I believe every 2 years  used or not.

    In the days when the MOT tester had to take the vehicle on the road to do the brake test, he could fail the vehicle on the speedometer technically by refusing to take the vehicle on the road, because he would be breaking the law by doing so.

    He could not fail it on the legalities of the speedo itself, because as already mentioned, it's not in the manual.

    I don't know about the C5, but unexplained brake fluid loss with no obvious leaks in the rear wheel cylinders or brake callipers, was normally down to a small leak in the brake master cylinder,which was then sucked into the brake servo. Easily seen once the B.M.C. was removed. Whether this could happen on the modern type ABS brake system I don't know.

    Edit:

    Your mention of brake fluid put me on the wrong track for a moment, the C5 uses the same fluid for the brakes and suspension, so I guess the leak could have been in the suspension system. Hope not.
